Atmosphere On Venus
Venus has been called the most poisonous planet in the solar system because of the gases in its atmosphere. It is also the hottest planet because clouds on Venus trap the suns energy causing a greenhouse effect far worse than anything we could imagineon ourr planet.
A season of Mars
Mars has captured people'simagination's for a long time. Here you can find out a lot of information about Mars. Come and watch a short MPEG Video on Mars and there are also some short video clips.
Space Project
Testing for a new colony activity - If you were to move to another planet, what types of people would you take with you?
Museum of Science and Industry
Tour a miniature Fairy Castle, watch a chick hatch, explore a historic city street, see cells being attacked by the AIDs virus, visit exhibits on aeroplanes, a submarine, fantastic machines, and more. (www.msichicago.org/exhibit/exhome.html)
